My first PC Build ever, need some feedback/approval

Budget: usd $1500.

Country: Nicaragua (a very very hot and humid country in central america).

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: work related: VS code, Remote Desktop connection, many tabs open in chrome. For gaming: Valorant, LoL, Fall Guys.

Other details

I'm coming from a Dell G3 laptop with an i5 8gen, 8GB of RAM and a Geforce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB.

I already have peripherals and a Monitor (27' 144Hz 1440p). I might buy another monitor at a later date.

I just want to play at 1440p at 100+ fps refreshing at 120Hz minimum.

Aesthetics and RGB are very important.

 

Finally I'll leave the build I have put together on pcpartpicker.

The idea is to build this pc in the following 3 months.
Appreciate the help in advance.

The only concern I have is that the Corsair Vengeance sticks say that they are optimized for Intel mobos but my build is based on an AMD mobo.

No idea of where you're purchasing from but looking at your uses along with the hot humid weather I would be inclined to go this route. Case with better cooling and a cpu with hyperthreading.

Looks like a solid well balanced build aside from the cooler. That's a wildly expensive cooler for that build, the 7600 only puts out 65w TDP. If you want the corsair RGB I'd go with a smaller one and put that money towards a better CPU or graphics card.

 

There are cheaper cases but that's entirely personal preference. I would maybe opt for a cheaper SSD (samsungs are expensive) but not a big of a deal.

Not really a thing, they'll be fine.

Hello, I was looking at your list and I made a few improvements. I found a PC Case similar to the 011 Dynamic and it's half the price. I also added more Fans to the build to help cool it, the Case already has 3 ARGB Fans in it and I added 3 more ARGB Fans for a total of 6.

 

I fixed the RAM speeds and upgraded the GPU for more VRAM. Better Motherboard, M.2, and PSU.

 

I have been building PCs for 30 years so if you have any questions please ask.
